"many New Yorkers were all for the ban,"
What did the chick in Star Wars say, "So this is how liberty dies. By thunderous appause."
When will the ban be extended to animal fat like lard, suet, butter, etc.?
Every sentence in that article is quotable. New Yorkers deserve the government they have, but unfortunately this is going to spill over.
The bribes will always be bigger in the illegal drug trade than from the transfat speakeasies.
I cant wait to trade on the trans fat black market....
hydrogenated oil....$ 180. a barrel
"In a city where eating out is a major form of activity..."
I was once told, while on an airplane, that all Texans know how to do is "Dinner and moviie." Besides not being true, it appears to be a pot and kettle situation...
But more on topic: I'll be the judge of what goes in my digestive tract, thank you. And if you exercise a little, and don't eat out every single meal of your life, you'll probably be OK.
Uh, Emily
... simply un-American. Especially the fat ...
Emily!
"Yes?"
Trans fat ... partially hydrogenated vegetable oil ... hydrogen bond on the ...
"Oh, that's different!
Never mind!

In a city where eating out is a major form of activity _
No arguing about where to eat is a major activity.
Amazing. You could see these coming from a million miles away, but I'm still amazed. Look for San Francisco or some small whack job town in Vermont or something to ban meat.
There is no whacky, hippie, new-age proposal that I or you can come up with as a JOKE that will be too far out to be passed as a law.
This will be my chance to be an outlaw, smuggling steaks across state lines, one step ahead of the green police, life in the fast lane, all that good stuff.
The booming stampede of a bewildered herd of gnu's.
Why doesn't NYC just abscond from the union already....LOL!
I heard that trans fats cause global warming.
Liberals call this progress but call the Patriot Act an assault on Civil Rights. And yes, I know Bloomberg is a Republican. That does not make him a Conservative.
Living is bad for your health.
Banning trans fat won't change that.
The food Nazi's have the sheeple agreeing with them I see.
So I guess the Public Health Department has conquered TB, wiped out vermin, removed all lead based paint, made sure all restaurants meet sanitation codes. Vaccinated low income children against measle, mumps, whooping cough and german measles. Made certain that STDs are being reported and treated Have brought AIDs and other communicable diseases under control. Eradicated vectors such as ticks, mosquitos and fleas. And checked all hospitals, schools, nursing homes, daycares and group homes for infection control compliance.
They did that right? I mean they must have if they have time to worry about what grown people decide to eat.
idiots.
The prohibitionists and drug warriors set the "ban it for your own good" precedent. What will it take to stop this infernal Mommy State?
